Ingredients: paint, glitter, glue, and oatmeal.
They found rocks and had to paint them too :)
The oatmeal definitely added texture to the pictures! They looked pretty cool after they dried too with the bumps from the oatmeal.

Red, White, & Blue Painting
Well, this week for on the Fourth of July I thought I would add a twist on plain old painting and add a texture. I didn't plan ahead on the added texture, just grabbed an ingredient in my parents kitchen and added it to Littlemiss's red, white, and blue paint. I added oatmeal. I was hoping Littlemiss and her buddy would dig in hands first and love it, BUT the moment she touched it she exclaimed, "EWWWW!!!" I don't blame her it looked and felt like gooey oatmeal. Next time I try this I'm going to do a few things differently. 1) I'm going to mix the oatmeal with some finger paints or an edible sensory material to encourage her to touch it. 2) No paint brushes!

Good idea, I think the oatmeal would absorb some of the liquid and make it gooey - maybe rice or lentils would work better? We should def experiment!
